Each knife is hand-honed using a blend of traditional methods and cutting-edge techniques, resulting in a true katana edge that glides effortlessly through almost any food.

Customer Reviews

This is my first Miyabi as I have always been a Wustof and Shun fan but the Shuns have lost a bit of their, in my opinion, quality when Kershaw acquired them and Japanese Steel is just better than German although I do love the styling of the new Wustof Epicure series. This knife has a great feel in the hand and the overall balance of the knife is awesome. I went in to my local Sur La Table to purchase a Kramer Damascus but seen this and had an associate take it out of the case so that I could feel and see it. I was sold both on the price and the overall quality of the steel and blade itself. Would have like to seen an actual Damascus method used as in the Kaizen but the HBK process that Miyabi uses to hone and sharpen the blades I believe you can't go wrong with either. Mr. Miyabi I thank you

This superior knife (along with the entire Miyabi Artisan SG2 Santoku collection) has proven to be second-to-none in combining state-of-the-art performance and styling – and a great value accordingly. An impressive addition to any kitchen (home or restaurant) and an awe-inspiring gift for any foodie, aspiring or professional chef.

Best knife I own. Super sharp, easy to handle. Cuts through everything from fruit & vegetables to meat & bone. Never needs sharpening. Also beautiful construction and simple to clean. I had to relearn to "respect the knife" when working with it, though. It'll just as easily slice through a finger as through a sushi-grade salmon.

I'm looking for a high quality precision vegetable knife. I thought that a single edge knife would be preferred but did not see one. Would the Santou be the best knife for this purpose? I noticed the'Artisan' does have the more extreme 9-12 degree edge.

BEST ANSWER:Hello Fungo,I believe you are referring to a Santoku style knife which translates to ""Three Virtues"" in Japanese and to properly answer your question, in my opinion, I believe not. A Nakiri style vegetable knife would serve better use to you for slicing a lot of vegetables as the knife is designed to slice up and down instead of a rocking motion. The Santoku although good for multi use I believe the Nakiri to provide a more precise use for this application. Hope I have helped you

I'm looking at the Kramer Essential Santoku & Miyabi Artisan SG2, priced the same. I'm having a hard time deciding between the two, hoping you can pint out the differences between the two so I can make as informed decision as possible. Can someone help?Thanks

Miyabi Artisan SG2 Collection Santoku

Bob Kramer Essential Collection 7" Santoku

BEST ANSWER:I bought the Bob Kramer Essential Santoku a year ago. I like its wooden handle since it fits comfortably in my hand, has a good weight/feel as I cut vegetables, and is perfectly sharp. The shape of the handle does not slip in my hand - neither during cutting nor cleaning, which is important.

I have them both and prefer Kramer Essential. T is really based on the balance, feel, and the blade. the blade just seems sharper with the Kramer. The handle design on the Kramer balances the weight of the blade. Miyabi is much lighter and really designed for right handed use.

I have both knives, but the Kramer is my clear favorite. Although it requires a bit more care, as it will rust if not kept coean and dry, it retains its edge beautifully and is balanced better for my grip. Have given one to every cook and n the family.
